Stainless Steel 180° Return Bend (Short Radius)

Stainless Steel 180° return bends (short radius) provide a compact U-turn in piping systems where direction must be reversed in minimal space. Ideal for tight installations, these bends offer efficient flow characteristics and exceptional structural integrity under pressure.

Technical Specifications

Type 180° Return Bend – Short Radius (SR)
Size Range 1/2" – 48"
Material Stainless Steel (ASTM A403)
Connection Buttweld (BW)

Common Applications

  • Tight Piping Runs: Ideal for space-constrained layouts.

  • Heat Exchangers: Efficient reversal in compact thermal systems.

  • Chemical Processing: Precise flow reversal in corrosive process lines.

  • Boiler Systems: High-temperature U-bends for fluid return.

  • Marine & Offshore: Compact, durable routing for shipboard systems.
